THIRD SESSION OF ARMENIAN-AMERICAN TASK FORCE BEGINS IN YEREVAN

 

YEREVAN, March 5 (Noyan Tapan). The third session of the Armenian-American

Task Force began in Yerevan on March 5. The head of the Armenian delegation,

Economy and Finance Minister Vardan Khachatrian presented the legislative

aspects of forming Armenia's investment policy. The cochairmen from the

American side, State Department Coordinator for Aid to NIS William Taylor

promised US assistance in finding solutions to the issues discussed during

the session.

The two-day session will discuss ways of improving Armenia's investment

climate, including the organization of a forum on investments in New York in

May of this year. The forum will deal with Armenia, the security and

privatization of its energy sector, the government's anti-corruption policy,

US aid programs for Armenia as well as earthquake area rehabilitation.

The Task Force was set up in January 2000. It has held two sessions so far -

one in Yerevan and one in Washington. During the first session Armenia

suggested that an agreement on avoiding double taxation be signed between the

two states. The American side proposed preliminary conditions, one of which

was stabilization of Armenia's tax system. This issue is on the agenda of the

third session. Armenia has so far signed agreements on avoiding double

taxation with 13 states.
